Kevin Danso believes "anything is possible" at Sunderland this season after he completed his deadline-day move to the Stadium of Light from Tottenham.Danso joins Sunderland with a wealth of Premier League and European experience, having turned out for Augsburg, Lens and Spurs throughout his professional career.The 27-year-old made 51 appearances across all competitions during his time at Spurs, winning the Europa League, a competition Sunderland are competing in this season.Sunderland will face the likes of AC Milan, Dinamo Zagreb and Anderlecht in the league phase in Europe, with their campaign beginning on September 16 at home to AZ.But their attention turns to the Premier League this Saturday with a trip to Brentford up next, and Danso is looking forward to pulling on the Sunderland shirt for the first time."It feels amazing to be here, and I can't wait to get started," Danso said. "Growing up in England, Sunderland has a rich Premier League history, and I'm so excited to be a part of that journey."I hope I can bring my experience to the group and help the lads both on and off the pitch. First and foremost, I'd describe myself as a warrior. I'm someone who gives everything for the team and I want to bring that mentality here."I know we have European football this season, and anything is possible. The sky is the limit, and we want to see how far we can go."Adding vital European experience to the squad pic.twitter.com/Qjo1taeGXd— Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) September 1, 2026Brentford have begun their Premier League campaign with four points from their first two games, with Leeds United scoring a 79th-minute equaliser at Elland Road last time out.The Bees had 22 attempts against Leeds, their joint-most in a Premier League away game, but were only able to register an expected goals (xG) total of 1.7. Keith Andrews' side endured a quiet deadline day, only seeing Jayden Meghoma join Portsmouth on a season-long loan, with no more additions coming into their ranks.Brentford boss Andrews was pleased with his team's business throughout the summer, and he believes the side he has assembled will continue to improve moving forward."I thought the first half we were magnificent. We got the lead and possibly could be more, but we knew there would be changes," Andrews said after the draw with Leeds. "We couldn't play out through those chaotic stages. It shows where we are at that we were disappointed coming away from Elland Road with a draw."We laid some really solid foundations last season that we want to build upon, and it has been a good start to the season. We looked very calm and confident in the first half."Never underestimate Daniel Farke – the way he sets up the team and the type of players Leeds have – they are a very honest bunch."Slightly disappointing to come away with a point, but we will probably look back on it and think it is a good point. We are growing all the time."PLAYERS TO WATCHBrentford – Igor ThiagoAfter a stunning season in 2025-26, Thiago has yet to open his account this term. Only Diego Gomez (eight) has had more shots without scoring in the Premier League so far this season than the Brazilian (seven).Thiago had the best conversion rate of any player to have 25+ shots in the competition last term (26.2%) and he will want to get up and running sooner rather than later.Top, top support this afternoonSafe home, Bees pic.twitter.com/JDyQVcCG70— Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) August 30, 2026Sunderland – Habib DiarraDiarra has two assists in his last four Premier League appearances for Sunderland, both as a substitute for goals scored by Wilson Isidor.In their Premier League history, only Emanuele Giaccherini (three) has more assists coming off the bench, though Diarra will be hoping to make an impact from the start here. MATCH PREDICTION: BRENTFORD WINBrentford are unbeaten in four home games against Sunderland in all competitions (W2 D2) since losing 1-0 in August 1987 in a third-tier meeting.The Bees have also kept five clean sheets in their 11 Premier League home games in 2026, including in three of the last four. It is as many shutouts as they kept at the Gtech Community Stadium in both 2025 (two) and 2024 (three) combined.Across their 192 Premier League matches so far, two of Brentford's top seven games for shots have been in their two games this season – 26 vs Spurs on MD1 and 22 vs Leeds on MD2. Only Manchester United (54) have had more shots than the Bees this season (48).Sunderland, meanwhile, suffered a 3-0 defeat in their most recent top-flight game against Brentford – the Black Cats have never lost consecutive league meetings with the Bees.Regis Le Bris' side have also won just eight points in their last 16 away Premier League matches in London (W2 D2 L12), losing their last three and conceding three goals in every defeat (0-3 vs Brentford, 1-3 vs West Ham, 0-3 vs Arsenal).But there is cause for optimism. Sunderland accumulated an xG of 2.0 in their 1-0 win over Fulham on MD2 – across the last two Premier League seasons, only in their victory over Newcastle United in March this year (2.4) have they had a higher xG total.OPTA WIN PROBABILITYBrentford – 60.7%Draw – 21.9%Sunderland – 17.4%The post ‘The sky is the limit’ – Danso relishing chance to shine at Sunderland appeared first on SoccerNews.
